Disney Update




So, I got an email from Disney about 3 days after my interview informing me that I have been pended. I've read online on the Disney blog that being pended isn't necessarily a bad thing. They just need more time choosing where to place me and what not. I've read blogs and forums where people say the opposite, but I wont let all that get to me. :) And silly me, I didn't realize that that said email I got was the dreaded "pending email" until late last night! I take it as a good sign, the email simply said:

"Thank you for taking the time to interview for the Disney College Program!

We are currently processing you application, and at this time your status is pending a final decision.

...you will be contacted with an update on the status of your application by April 25, 2012."

I don't know, to me it didn't seem like a bad thing, it seemed to me that they were just letting me know that they're working on things so that I wouldn't be completely in the dark. 

Now there's a few things that can happen after the interview. You can either get rejected (which usually takes a few days), you can get accepted (1-2 weeks), or you can get pended. After you've been pended, you can hear back whether you've been accepted or rejected within a few days, a few weeks or a few months! I will at least know for sure whether or not I'm going this Fall by April 25! 

I would absolutely love, love, LOVE to be in the program this Fall, but if it doesn't happen, that's okay with me! Let's look at what can happen if I go this Fall:

1. I will work at DISNEY and get into the park for FREE! 
2. I will be at Disney for all the major holidays! Disneyland? On Christmas?!?! :D
3. I will most likely be going with one of my best friends, Amber! And we'll be roommates!

If I don't end up going this Fall:

1. I will be home for the holidays! 
2. I wont have to quit all of my jobs.
3. I will get to see one of my best friends, Shelby, leave for her mission!
4. I will get to see all of my other friends return home from their missions!
5. I can save more money.
6. And last but not least, I will graduate with my degree in Audio Productions/Sound Design in December!! :)

Everything happens for a reason. It would be awesome if I get to go to California this year, but if I don't I will still accomplish a lot here in Mesa! It's all about timing and FATE!  ;)

If I don't get in this time, I can always try again for the next semester! :)

I promise I'll update my blog when I get an answer from them!!
